  • A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected]
    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

  • Pairing: Spike/Xander Rating: NC-17 Disclaimer: I'm Not Joss
    Pairing: Spike/Xander Rating: NC-17 Disclaimer: I'm not Joss Warnings: angst and slash Summary: A decade post-series (and ignoring the comics), Xander is leading a normal life. Then he discovers Spike in an alley, amnesiac and human. Author's Note: This fic is complete and I'll post a chapter a day. The title is stolen from a poem by Jeff Clark, which can be read here. http://www.bostonreview.net/BR21.6/sampler2.ht ml And should be read, because it's oddly appropriate, although I discovered it after the fic was written. The Ghost Has No Home by Whichclothes Part One Xander Harris didn’t rescue anyone anymore. He’d done his time, he figured. Helped save the world enough times. Lost enough—his innocence, his friends, his eye. He’d more than earned an early retirement, with a normal life and normal job. He certainly didn’t go rushing in dangerous situations anymore, like confronting the three young thugs who were beating the homeless guy in the alley. But, okay, even retired, he could still pull out his cell phone and call 911. No risk to himself, nothing remotely heroic about that. Except his goddamn battery was dead. He stuffed the phone back in his pocket and walked away. Surely someone else would come along soon, someone who could remember to plug their phone into the recharger now and then. Xander had a house to get to, and a shower to take, and at seven he was going to pick up Nicole and they were going to see some movie with George Clooney in it and afterwards she might even decide to invite him into her place.

He carefully looked over his shoulder, and then surveyed the bar, looking for his ex-fiancé—the ex- ex-vengeance demon, patron demoness of women scorned, or some such, one of which she was now, or again—or her ‘justice demon’ friend, Halfrek. He didn’t see either one of them, but still, better safe than sorry.

  • The Cost of Butterfly Kisses
    50ftqueenie made a request that really tickled my muse. So, rather than spoil you by telling you what she requested, I just present her story... Spike/Xander (pre-slash) Warnings: A bit of blackmail and manipulation Rating: Teen Episode Spoilers: Once More with Feeling 187,000 words Summary: Xander's been a bad boy, and Spike is about to figure out how to make the most of it. The Cost of Butterfly Kisses by Litgal Part One "Right then, you get all your singing out, then?" Spike asked. He lit a cigarette and looked around the Magic Box. Slayer wasn't around. It was just the sad little puppy-boy behind the counter. "What do you want, Spike?" Xander demanded, bristling with anger. Well, if Spike had to wait around for the slayer, he might as well entertain himself. If he was being honest with himself, he wanted to make a little trouble. If it weren't for the chip, he'd likely go out and gut some bloke and do something creative with the intestines. Days like this made him miss Drusilla. "Just thought I'd check in and see if ya were stupid enough to summon any more demons lately," Spike commented as he leaned against the counter. Xander flinched back from the question, but then, he should. It was bloody stupid. Harris had been around long enough to keep his mitts off magical amulets, and making a wish was even more idiotic than usual. Surprisingly, Xander didn't blow. "Go away, Spike," he said, his voice quiet, even if it was trembling with emotion.
